With the release of macOS 26.4, Apple is now warning users who it believes are about to paste malicious code into Terminal. The prompt is the latest blow to cybercriminals’ newest and, honestly, more desperate attack vector of getting unsuspecting Mac users to infect themselves.

One of the key features of MacBooks is the care Apple takes over color calibration. That’s great when you’re using your MacBook, but things can change as soon as you plug it into an external monitor, when you can see markedly different colors.
That’s because most monitor companies don’t tune their colors in the same way Apple does. But BenQ does exactly that with its latest MA series monitors …

Apple unveiled the MacBook Neo earlier this month, and in my opinion – it completely breaks the MacBook lineup as we knew it. If you’re someone who previously bought a MacBook Air, and you don’t need 16GB of RAM for heavier multitasking – why wouldn’t you buy the MacBook Neo now?
In my eyes, the MacBook Neo is just as good of a general purpose laptop as the MacBook Air was, and besides more RAM, a much faster processor (though still a thermally limited one), and a larger display, it doesn’t feel like MacBook Air has much going for it – at least for now. Here’s how I’d improve it.

It’s never been easier for spammers and scammers to get access to your personal data, and this is particularly dangerous during tax season.

It is spring 2026, and that magical time of year when the sun is shining, the grass is growing, and flowers bloom. We are heading into near-perfect weather. Spring in the southern US generally brings plenty of showers. It will not be long until the brutal summer heat arrives, with 97 degrees, 90% humidity, full sun, and no rain in the forecast.
Winning against the brutal summer heat with your plants requires a strong foundation right now, and getting them plenty of water consistently is the absolute key to survival. I have generally opposed professionally installed irrigation systems due to the upkeep required. I have long used the Eve Aqua instead. It is a great way to quickly deploy a maintenance-free, Apple Home-enabled sprinkler system.

Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro is a big improvement over the more fussy iPhone 16 Pro. The vapor chamber and switching to aluminum from titanium both make a noticeable difference in sustained performance and improved thermal management. However, my favorite hardware improvement in years isn’t limited to the Pro series.
